The California Boom Not All Wind.

San FTunctSc0 CNTONfcIe.
The Eastern folks who are accustomed to low
priced lands in their own sections are somewhat
astounded when they hear of improved farming
land being held at 81 900 an acre. Their surprise
speedily vanishes, for upon examination into the
matter they find that in all such cases the pro-
duct of the land in single year equals in value
ten times that of a similar quantity of Eastern
land. There are plenty of orchards in California
from which over $500 worth of fruit is taken an
nually from every acre.

Touching Letter from the President.
1t will be remembered that on the occasion of
President Cleveland's recent visit to Memphis,
Tenn, Judge Elicit dropped dead at his feet on
the stand where he had just introduced the Presi-
dent to the people. The President has sent a let
to the widow of Judge Elicit, dated Washington,
October 25th, in which he says:
81 connot resist the impulse to express my deep
and sincere sympathy with you in the terrible af
Fiction you have sustained in the sudden death
of your loved and honored husband. I know 1
can write nothing which will comfort you in this
trying hour, since consolation at such time can
only come from the heavenly sourch which per-
mitted the grievous blow. My immediate relation
to your deceased husband at the moment of his
fatal stroke seems to connect me 80 nearly with
his death that the sad scene is indelibly fixed
upon my mind: The death tn Of 50 good and useful
which he dwelt and if there is any solace in the
knowledge that many share your grief, or if there
is consolation in the fact that the last words of
the lamented dead, spoken in the presence of his
neighbors and fellow citizens, were full of noble
patriotism and love for all his countrymen, this
solace and this consolation you have in full mea-
sure. In this hour of your bereavement may God
give you His support and the peace of mind which
passeth all understanding. Mrs. Cleveland desires
me also to convey to you her heartfelt sympathy
and coincidence"

More Trouble About Cedar Avenue.

More Trouble About Cedar Avenue
Winfield ]. Taylor, Esq, counsel for Thomas Il.
Hanson and seventy -four other citizens of the 9th
district, has filed bill in equity for an injunction
to restrain the County Commissioners from pro-
ceeding in the matter of opening Cedar ave.
nve, in the 9th district, and to restrain VIM. H.
Shipley, examiner, from proceeding to collect as
sessments for damages or benefits said petitioners
The bill sets forth that said avenue-which was
to run from Merryman's lane to Druid Hill Park
does not open at both ends to the public, as re-
quired by law, because Druid Hill Park can only
be used for CERTAIN purposes; also, that the owners
of majority of front feet on theproposed avenue
did not petition for opening or laying off the same
and that some of them were owners in fduciary
capacity, and could not properly petition in their
own right; and, further, that the examiner held
sttings in Baltimore city to take testimony in re-
gard to the assessments, where he had no jurisdc-
ton and could not enforce process for witnesses,
and that the avenue does not conform to the city
streets or avenues; by reason of all which, the
avenue was not being opened and the assessments
made, according to law. The injunction was is
sued.
